Seems like if the META.yml creation occured on the installers machine instead of on the distributors machine the problem would go away, and allow inifinte flexibility. So for the time being it looks like I have to hand hack my MakeMaker or something. Hmm.
That won't work. CPAN is looking at the META.yml file before running *anything*, including your MakeMaker code.
Also, there's already a file called _blib/prereqs that's written while running the Build.PL script, and will contain any dynamically specified prereqs.
I did bring up this issue with Andreas when he was proposing the META.yml-reading behavior for CPAN, but he figured he's cross that bridge when we came to it. I think we've come to it?
